At Accounting & Taxation you aren't just a number, you're a valued client.

We are thrilled with their service and frequently recommend Accounting & Taxation to friends. Charlotte Bidlake, Curves Gym Nelson and Richmond.

Independent Nursing Practice has been a client of Accounting and Taxation, almost from the beginning. We're still clients because they're a great team! They always get back to us promptly when we've got questions, nothing is ever too much trouble, Richard saves us time by calling in on us, they're timely with getting our annual returns ready, they laugh when we foul-up and are running in with last minute details, they make sure that our software is up-to-date and they give tutorials when upgrades come down the line. All with good humour. They are professional, easy to work with, and I'm almost too anxious to say this – their charges are very reasonable. They rock!

It is comforting to know that I can hand over all the paperwork and forget about it! Good value for services received too. Mark Jenner

We have used Richard for a number of years now and have always found him to be right on the ball with all matters concerning our taxation. He made starting a new business trouble free and provided much more advice than just numbers and figures. His comprehensive knowledge of all matters concerning business made it an easy way for us to get a good start. He has saved us thousands of dollars over the years with His ability to understand our financial status and of course every tax oriented saving as well.
We recommend Him without hesitation

I have been using Accounting and Taxation as our accountants and financial advisors for the past 10 years or so; I think since Richard first started in Stoke. I have always been very happy with the prompt, efficient service and the good, sound advice on all family and business finances, and all for such a reasonable cost! Our business affairs have transitioned through many different stages from small scale individual tax arrangements, through to a more complex mixture of personal PAYE, Contract, business, rental and trust involvements.
Richard and his team have always handled each of these areas with the same thorough professionalism. Even though we now reside in a different part of New Zealand, we continue to employ the Accounting and Taxation team as our family and business accountants. I have recommended several friends to this accountancy practice, and will continue to do so.
Janine Mitchell –studio8 Architecture Limited

During all that time, tax compliance, tax planning, financing and budgeting have been no problem. Richard has made sure that we have had systems in place to be able to monitor our companies performance and compliance issues. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone!! If you are currently shocked at what you accountant is charging you for basic tax compliance work then give Richard a call, he will be able to save you a small fortune!
